Hi,
a while ago I asked about SWXCR management.
I have found out the following:
The SWXCRMGR tool for Digital UNIX will not allow you to add a new logical
drive to the configuration. You need to run ra200rcu.exe from the ARC
console to do that.
Now, having done that, I have a problem.
I added a new drive as a JBOD, but Digital UNIX 4.0D will not access the
drive. When DU boots it fails to see the drive in an online state, and I
cannot access it.
Here is some info I think may be relevant to my problem:
1. Firmware release on the SWXCR is 2.42.
2. New drive is wide while the others are narrow.
3. Config in the SWXCR is now:
Logical drive 1 is a 2 GB JBOD
Logical drive 2 is a 4 drive RAID-5 set (12GB usable)
Logical drive 3 is a 4.1 GB JBOD
Can anyone suggest what the problem is?
Here is the swxcr config info:
